A great upgrade from the Nikon D7500

On December 2nd, I visited Adorama to trade in my Nikon D7500. I also traded in my 200-500mm f/5.6, 35mm f/1.8, and 85mm f/1.8 all NIKKOR lenses. This marked the beginning of my journey into the world of mirrorless cameras, and I chose the Nikon Z5ii as my first choice. To enhance my bird photography skills, I also purchased the used NIKKOR Z 180-600mm f/5.6-6.3 VR lens. I also bought an extra battery. Both Angel and William were incredibly helpful and knowledgeable throughout the process. They provided valuable insights and assistance with my trade-ins and new purchases. This is a huge upgrade coming from the D7500. Speed and autofocus plus bird detection. I'm looking forward to using this during my trip to the bird festival in Laredo Texas in February.

Great upgrade from Z5

I really liked my Z5, it was a great way to wonder back into photography after a 40+ year hiatus. The Z5ii is a great upgrade, my main driver for the upgrade was to get better autofocus ability especially with wildlife. The Z5ii delivered solid AF performance as well as much better light performance. The old Z5 was great at landscape, the new Z5ii is great at landscape, wildlife/nature and even astro. I really like the way the dual thumb wheel controls work when selecting either i-menu functions or with the function buttons, this is really convenient and intuitive for me. I find overall the AF is so much better that I take one or two photos of a subject rather than 5 or 6 or 10 because I know the focus is right on the money and more "only get one chance" wildlife photos turn out great! I also find myself snickering a lot when taking pictures of dogs when they are walking away from me with their tail up and eye detection is on.

Awesome Full Frame

So far the camera has been amazing. Purchased the 50mm 1.8S and it makes great shots.

Wonderful low light camera

I absolutely love this new Z5! I am taking pictures at ISO 64,000 and they are coming out with very light noise - easy to fix in Lightroom! I no longer have any need for f/2.8 or f/4 lenses. f/5.6 is now the new fast lens! And the auto focus settings give you several different areas for the continuous autofocus to work in. And there are settings where the autofocus will find birds in flight and people's faces. This camera is light years ahead of the original Z5. My new favorite lens is the Nikon Z 28-400mm f/4-8. With this camera and lens I can go just about anywhere and shoot just about anything.
